Harold Luis Agosto Cruz, New York City—Harold Luis Agosto Cruz passed away on December 14, 2024, at the age of 38. Born on January 14, 1986, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Harold was a passionate educator, musician, and devoted father, leaving behind a legacy of love, humor, and dedication to both his craft and his family.
Harold’s love for music, particularly drums, was evident from an early age. He pursued this passion through his education, earning a Master’s in Music Pedagogy from the City University of New York, Lehman College. Throughout his life, he played in Off-Broadway shows, collaborated with local NYC bands like San Simón and Badinba, and inspired countless students as a music teacher for over 15 years.
His dedication as a father to his daughter, Madison, was central to his life. Harold’s family and friends will remember him not only for his musical talents but also for his sense of humor, kindness, and love for Formula 1 racing and coffee. He was known for his BBQ skills and his ability to brighten any room with his spontaneity and warmth.
Harold is survived by his wife, Melissa Zapata; daughter, Madison Agosto-Zapata; mother, Verónica Cruz; and brothers Jonathan Agosto Cruz and Christian Agosto Cruz. He was preceded in death by his father, Iluminado Agosto.
A fundraiser has been set up in his honor by Johanny Quezada to assist with funeral expenses and to support the family during this challenging time. Harold’s untimely passing has left a deep void, but his memory and influence will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
